You spend hours editing. You film original content. The video performs. You expect a payout.

You put hours into editing. The video takes off. Views are climbing, engagement is strong… and then you get hit with this: “Your video has been disqualified from monetization due to low quality or unoriginal content.” It’s frustrating. Especially when you know you didn’t just repost someone else’s clip. You made this. It was yours….

Getting hit with a strike for using a clown emoji? Being afraid to go live because someone might say something that gets you banned? Yeah, I’ve seen it too—and it’s exhausting. What used to feel like a creative free-for-all now feels more like a digital landmine field, where one mildly sarcastic comment can cost you…
One day you’re getting solid engagement, the next day your TikToks are doing worse than a school play on a Monday morning. Sound familiar? Yeah, I’ve been there too.
